Abstract

Nanoparticles (NPs) are highly reactive particles that find a broad array of applications in society; as a result, they may accumulate in aquatic environments. Microalgae are the base of foodwebs and serve as surfaces for NPs, interacting and transporting them to higher trophic levels. We aimed at understanding the effects of environmentally significant and higher copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) concentrations on the photosynthetic performance of Chlorella sorokiniana, which included determining effective quantum yield (F'(v)/F'(m)), photochemical (Q(p)) and non-photochemical (NPQ) quenching, rapid light curves (RLC), light use efficiency (alpha), minimum saturation irradiance (E-k) and the maximum relative electron transport rate (ETRr(max)), in addition to chlorophyll a content and cell viability. Dissolved Cu and free ionic Cu concentrations were determined, and dissolved Cu values were used as surrogate for nominal Cu-NPs concentrations. The experiments lasted 72 h and were carried out under controlled conditions. The results showed that cell viability and chlorophyll a decreased as Cu-NPs increased, but the opposite was obtained for the RLC parameters. Light saturation (E-k) and ETR increased as Cu-NPs concentrations increased in culture medium, but not the efficiency with which C. sorokiniana used the light. By showing that environmentally relevant Cu-NPs influenced C. sorokiniana metabolism, we add to the knowledge on the interactions between environmentally realistic Cu-NPs levels and phytoplankton cells.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
